Help for Children Foundation
SwitzerlandChildren/Education
The purpose of our Foundation is to help underprivileged children from the shantytowns in Colombia. In our "Bambi" homes, we shelter children in distress, who have been abandoned or who are orphans, from their birth to the age of six. Our homes provide a roof over their heads, love and affection and all the care the children need for their welfare and development. Our homes shelter an average of 600 children a year. A child stays in one of our homes until his or her mother finds the means of existence enabling her to fulfill the child's needs. The orphans, relatively few in number, will have a new life thanks to adoption through the obligatory agency of the state organization "Bienestar Familiar" with which we have excellent contacts. Thanks to the donation made by one Foundation, we introduced a professional training program (PROMEFA) based on personal development and the learning of skills, for the mothers and/or fathers of the children we take care of in our homes. This program allows the parents to find a job and, as a result, to take their children back home. This program operates with increasing success.
Help For Heroes

Help for Heroes was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry in October 2007 out of a desire to help the wounded Servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.

These are ordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences of their service for life. We may not be able to prevent our soldiers from being wounded, but together we can help them get better.
